∙ 12y agoThe first poems were by the ancient greeks. And poetry first origionated from folk songs-or just songs. William Shakespear was the first person to write poetry as poetry not a song that is spoken. He put his poetry into plays so he was really the first proper poet who was famous.

However, many scholars agree that the Egyptian epic Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor originates from a much earlier time. The authors of both are unknown.
